Women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) report that flibanserin increased their sexual desire and reduced associated distress

For medical media, outside the US only


Ingelheim, Germany, 19 May 2010, 08:00 CET – Significantly more pre-menopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) reported a clinically meaningful improvement in their condition with flibanserin 100mg compared with placebo, according to new research announced today. 1 Flibanserin is an investigational, non-hormonal treatment being developed by Boehringer Ingelheim for pre-menopausal women with HSDD.

More than 1,300 women were included in the pre-specified, pooled Phase III study analysis, presented at The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (ACOG) annual clinical meeting. All of the women had HSDD – a medical condition characterised by a decrease in sexual desire associated with marked distress and/or interpersonal difficulties. 2

taken at bedtime over a 5 or more day period.
and it's not very efficient, apparently.

Good Bunny though.

Every day a new disorder and...TA DAAA...a new drug to cure it. Maybe these women just like to fuck and are embarassed to admit it.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

No, no, Te. You're thinking hyperactive. Hypoactive means very low. They don't like to fuck and it upsets them.

 

[TE999]

No, no, Te. You're thinking hyperactive. Hypoactive means very low. They don't like to fuck and it upsets them.

Whoops...I missed that.

Still, it seems odd that new disorders are continually being diagnosed and there just happens to be a new drug to treat each one.

Presumably, it's a problem if it is - everybody is getting hit with mixed messages on all sides these days, there is no consensus on sex anymore - what, where, when, why, how and who.

Or how much.

It does indicate the consensus is leaning towards cutting some slack towards ti, which is good news as far as I'm concerned - over at fet one of the more embattled groups is actually the monogamy group.

I'd like to be able to say "oh goodie, women's sexual health is getting due notice," but I'm rather with Tom on this one.

Firstly, I remain suspicious whether this 'disorder' occurs at the lack of either situational factors (e.g. relationship problems) or other disorders (e.g. hormonal), and if it does, I'm compelled to wonder whether the hypo desire isn't just how that person is geared and whether the ensuing distress isn't just due to external pressures to perform.

Secondly, unlike male Viagra, which deals with a vascular problem (not with a low desire), and unlike hormonal treatments, aimed at bringing relief to women whose hormones are out of whack, this new drug is a psychotropic. A lot like antidepressants, it works by modulating the serotonine/dopamine systems. Since I already have some…opinions about the overuse of AD's, I don't feel very friendly toward this, either.

To a small number of women, one hopes, this will be a boon; I imagine more will be sold unnecessary treatments, though.

If Pharmaceuticals are involved, you can pretty much count on it.

Boehringer-Ingelheim is a company that makes drugs. They find it helps if they also sell the drugs.

Like a lot of drugs, this one started out as something else. It was developed initially as an anti-depressant and the effects on female libido were discovered serendipitously (they dumb lucked onto it). Similarly, Viagra started out as an anti-hypertensive.

It takes upwards of fifty to one hundred million dollars for a drug company to research, develop, test and finally get a drug to market. When a drug doesn't seem to be very good at what you hoped it would do...look for another use for the drug.

For years Viagra was the biggest money maker in pharmaceutical history. Whether or not a woman really needs this new drug, to be called Ectris and/or Giorsa, Boehringer-Ingelheim hopes to make a fortuna. It's all about cash flow.

Over the course of my career I assessed 1000s of people and conclude that most disorders are the spawn of perfessers needing a berth on the tenure train. As I 've posted numerous times: In 1967 Gay was a disorder, mothers created schizophrenics, and sugar made your kid hyperactive.

At the same time fucking a teeny bopper wasnt a problem, fist-fights werent a problem, and setting your kids ass on fire wasnt a problem. When Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin we were upset cuz she was his cousin and confirmed the stereotype about Southerners.

In my 60s I now conclude that whatever draws blood or cripples you permanently is a bad idea.

How well I recall the psychotic woman we discharged from the hospital. She left then came back and announced that there was a dead body outside, propped against a tree. Sure there was! And we ignored it. But there really was a dead man outside. So who was nuttier?

I'm more interested in finding ways to treat PGAD, non-pharmaceutically.
